Iam qualified to teach HypnoBirthing®, The Mongan Method. Having worked as a children’s nurse for 10 years, when I found out that I was pregnant I knew immediately that I wanted a home birth (I spend enough time in hospital already). It was researching this that I came across HypnoBirthing®. The common sense approach of HypnoBirthing® immediately appealed to me and I signed up for a course.
I also attended both the NHS and NCT
antenatal courses but the HypnoBirthing® course took a totally different approach and gave me and my husband a range of techniques that we could use during the birth. A few months later I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, in three hours, in the water, at home and experienced no pain whatsoever – I was convinced!
I decided to train as a HypnoBirthing® practitioner as I wish to help other families have the same calm, comfortable and beautiful experience of birth that I had.
My name is Gemma Barry I have enjoyed 10 years working as a children's nurse and during that time have become ITEC qualified in Holistic Massage, Indian Head Massage and Reflexology. I have been practising for the last five years and have treated a range of problems from physical aches and pains to aiding relaxation and promoting general well being.
In our busy lives we rarely take the time to indulge in some 'me time'. Complimentary therapies are excellent in helping the body repair itself form everyday stresses, and allow you time to to relax.
Recently I have have been exploring the benefits of massage and reflexology during pregnancy and once your baby has arrived. I have completed additional courses in pregnancy massage, maternity Reflexology, baby massage and baby yoga as these offer huge benefits to both the mother and baby. By working with expectant parents I am able to show them how to use simple techniques throughout pregnancy and during labour to ease symptoms and promote relaxation, which ties in beautifully with hypnobirthing. Once your baby is
here baby massage and yoga is a great way for mums and dads to bond with their baby and show parents ways in which to sooth their baby holistically.
